We Got Bombed But Only Once!

It's still winter. That's about all you need to know about the weather.

This week was something. We had a bunch of appointments but we got bombed a lot. 

Tuesday morning we had an appointment with the referral from Brother Morrisette. Last week we had one but he wasn't home then so we dropped by again last week and he wasn't home. And we felt we should knock a few doors and after the first door he pulled into his driveway so we were able to talk to him and get an appointment with him again. He was not home Tuesday morning but hopefully we can catch him again this week. He has a couple of kids he is raising so he is pretty busy. 

That night we went on splits with the young men. I went with a priest and we went contacting. It was pretty fun being able to see how uncomfortable he was with talking to random people off the street like that. Elder Bagley went with the Young Mens president to teach a lesson with an investigator couple. He said it went well and they really liked the message.

Wednesday we both woke up sick with colds and we were both dead so not a lot happened. We were going to go to Iroquois Falls but there was a snow storm so we weren't able to make the drive. 

Thursday we were still sick so we spent most of the day trying not to die and calling people.

Not sure what happened Friday besides district meeting. And dinner. 

Saturday we got bombed but only once! We had an appointment with someone and a member was able to come. They hadn't seen each other for a while so it was cool seeing them catch up with each other. After that we hung out with the youth a bit at the church. They were doing a project for their school or something like that. That night we went to the Santa Clause Parade. It was pretty good. Lots of floats compared to years past is what we heard. It was nice weather and we saw some people there that we knew. 

Sunday was church, the talks were really good. Talked about over coming trials and repenting. Which go hand in hand I think. We had dinner at the Coopers, and they are a super fun family. We were invited to watch the YSA face to face thing and that was really cool. It was great being able to listen to some apostles.

It was transfers yesterday and we are both staying for another one. 

Spiritual thought comes from Brother Nehers talk about repentance. He talked a lot about the Prodigal son and one of the points I really liked was how he talked about how the Atonement of Jesus Christ is for everyone and anyone that is willing to cast off their sins and move closer to him. The Atonement truly is an incredible thing and I am so grateful for the opportunity that it gives me.
